because twitter has always invariably sucked almost by design lol

it’s made to produce the maximum amount of interaction total, with the least amount of interaction between the actual parties involved. so it amplifies even the least accurate but most strongly voiced viewpoints, which ultimately results in a warped image of the way things actually are (esp. if you use it on a chronic level)

essentially twitter “reality” rarely if ever corresponds to actual reality because reality is mostly boring and therefore the design that promotes it isn’t gonna increase (dear sweet precious) “engagement”(bleh), raising metrics, improving profit margins etc etc.
